Lloyd Hundley Jones

Lloyd Hundley Jones, of Lynchburg, Virginia, passed away on October 24. He will always be remembered for approaching life with enthusiasm and his family and friends with compassion.

Lloyd was born on August 5, 1936, in Lynchburg to the late Buster D. and Lottie Arthur Jones of Lynchburg.  He served in both the Army and the Marines and won medals in each branch of service for his sharpshooting skills.  Lloyd lived most of his life in Lynchburg or Altavista, but he also lived in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for a few years.  He enjoyed aviation and worked for Piedmont Airlines, later US Air, for virtually his entire career.  Lloyd was also an avid Civil War buff and became a self-educated expert, visiting numerous battlefields from the first to the final conflict.  He also enjoyed metal detecting, which he skillfully used to find many Civil War artifacts.

Jones Mudrie of Lynchburg, Virginia and her husband, Rick.  Lloyd is also survived by his sister, Edna Puckette of Lynchburg; brother, Roy Jones of Washington state; and brother, Henry Tyree, of Lynchburg.
